Guy Fawkes a non-event despite silly stunts
By RHIANNON HORRELL
Guy Fawkes has been a
smooth run despite a number
of fireworks-related mishaps
and silly stunts over the past
two weeks, according to Fire
Service officials.
Auckland senior fire risk
management officer George
Stephens describes the
occasion as a non-event.
There have been a couple
of nuisances and those acting
irresponsibly, which have
included playgrounds where
people have set fire to equip-
ment. This saddens us and
there is also the usual num-
ber of discarded fireworks
laying around.
He says the only serious
case involved a young boy
who was burned as a result of
mischievous behaviour.
The eight or nine-year-old
received minor burns to his
face of a non-threatening
nature. From what I ve been
told, he was stuffing fire-
works into a doll and set
them alight. He miscal-
culated the effect and his
mother has been able to get
him to cold water immedi-
ately.
Last week also saw reports
of a pipe bomb explosion near
Church St but Onehunga
police senior sergeant Steve
Samuels says it was actually
a group of students who had
thrown a lit firecracker into a
bin.
Town manager Amanda
Kinzett is aware of the inci-
dent and has been warning
businesses to be aware of rub-
bish bins as a potential
source of fires.
Fire Service communi-
cations shift manager Jaron
Phillips says four fire trucks
attended the scene in One-
hunga which included a haz-
ardous materials unit.
The officers who attended
weren t able to confirm the
source of the explosion.
Cornwall Park District
School also suffered damage
to one of its classrooms early
last week and the case is
being treated as arson.
Fire Service senior com-
municator Dallas Ramsay
says firefighters were called
to the school after the smoke
alarm was set off by fire-
works.
No fire was found on
arrival but she says one had
already been extinguished in
a classroom by a teacher.
School principal Janine
Irvine says those responsible
gained access through a win-
dow of a year 6 classroom.
It s being treated as arson,
a police investigation is under
way. We re cleaning up, it s
taken the wall linings off and
there is smoke damage. The
class has had to be relocated.
Another fire was dis-
covered shortly after 2am last
Thursday in a wheelie bin
near a parked car on Great
North Rd, which is being
treated as suspicious.
